Seems that I should public the idea which I have for some time about planed
changes in smsd. I want to make smsd's integration to other systems better
with adding possibility for runtime management.

The basic idea is to introduce config table. The config table will contain
switches and maybe some statistic information. With changing switches it
will be possible to modify smsd behaviour like pause/unpause modem threads,
start or terminate threads, ... And enabling/dissabling incoming/outgoing
messages can be also implemented.

This feature will enable managing smsd from web GUI, for example.

Implementing this require to rewrite smsd architecture to enable runtime
modification. I also need to find a way how to deal with file module.
